Geothermal energy
The Houston-based energy company's first generating unit has begun producing electricity as it works toward a buildout that could eventually power nearly 1 million US homes.
With funding opportunities improving, developers and researchers are focused on shortening project learning cycles and reducing uncertainty to attract more capital and speed deployment.
The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.
